Islet Buzz

Got a CD to review this month for Buzz Mag. An actual compact disc. Lovely stuff.


ISLET
Eyelet (Fire Records)
*****

Local heroes Islet (Powys counts as local yeah?) return with album number three and their first release since 2016’s Liquid Half Moon EP. Lusher and more melodic than previous releases, Eyelet is a crazy cawl of tropical pop, electric psych, and odd rock. In lesser hands, such a scattergun approach could soon grate, but here Islet has made something special, in particular, the tabla-driven Radel 10 and the sweeping electronica of Geese. A brilliant live band too, Islet play Clwb Ifor Bach on March 7th.
